Policy 7 Board Operations Page 1 of 9 POLICY 7 Approved: 2020 12 10 BOARD OPERATIONS POLICY 7 Approved: 2020 12 10 BOARD OPERATIONS BACKGROUND The Board’s ability to discharge its obligations in an efficient and effective manner is dependent upon the development and implementation of a sound organization design. In order to discharge its responsibilities to the electorate of the Division, the Board shall hold meetings as often as necessary. A quorum, which is a simple majority of the number of trustees, must be present for every duly constituted meeting. The Board has adopted policies so the business of the Board can be conducted in an orderly and efficient manner. The Board’s fundamental obligation is to preserve and enhance the public trust in education, generally, and in the affairs of its operations in particular. Consistent with its objective to encourage the general public to contribute to the educational process, Board meetings will be open to the public. Towards this end, the Board believes its affairs must be conducted in public to the greatest extent possible. There are times when public interest is best served by private discussion of specific issues in "in- camera" sessions. The Board believes it is necessary to protect individual privacy and the Board's own position in negotiating either collective agreements or contracts and therefore expects to go in-camera for issues dealing with individual students, individual employees, land, labour, litigation or negotiation. Having members of the public make presentations at Board meetings can enhance public interest. Public forums dealing with specific educational topics and held in various communities within the Division can enhance communications and the effectiveness of the Board. GUIDELINES 1.

Trustees participating in a meeting of the board by electronic means or other communication facilities are deemed to be present at the meeting. 2.5 No act or proceeding of the Board shall be deemed valid or binding on any party, which is not adopted at a regular or special meeting at which a quorum of the Board is present. 2.6 Whenever the Education Act or specific procedures adopted by the Board are silent regarding the rules and practices governing how meetings of the Board are conducted, the current edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised will be used to govern procedures at Board meetings.

DESCRIPTORS Educational Assessment; Foreign Countries; High Schools; *Needs Assessment; *Program Development; Questionnaires; Secondary Education; *Social Studies; Surveys IDENTIFIERS *Alberta ABSTRACT In 2001, Canada's Alberta Learning embarked on development of a new provincial high school social studies program by conducting a province- wide needs assessment survey. Its purpose was to gather data, input, and suggestions to guide curriculum developers in the development of the new program. A needs assessment questionnaire was the primary tool for gathering qualitative and quantitative data from educational partners and stakeholders. During the needs assessment process, respondents submitted 1526 questionnaires, including feedback from Aboriginal and Francophone respondents. This report enumerates the results, summarizing the areas of concern surrounding the existing high school social studies program, as identified by questionnaire respondents and consultation participants. The report cites as areas of concern: program content; program rationale; curriculum overlap; quantity of curricular content; and skills and processes. It also provides general advice and input provided by questionnaire respondents, and consultation participants, regarding breadth of coverage, depth of coverage, program focus, program content, skill development, two course sequences, learning and teaching resources, and stakeholder participation.

    Town of Chestermere Social Plan 2012-2014 MAYOR’S MESSAGE While buildings, roads and parks define where a community is on a map, it’s the people that live and interact in that community that make it a home. This Social Plan provides a path for Council to follow to ensure that Chestermere remains the home we all want it to be. Why is the Social Plan important? It’s a plan to ensure our quality of life is honoured as we grow and develop over the next few years. It’s a plan that creates a social vision for the future of Chestermere’s residents: our future, together. Without this strategic document providing guidance to both Council and staff on the social expectations of our residents, we risk moving forward blindly. Hours and hours and hours of work have gone into creating this document, interviewing residents, blending existing plans and identifying priorities. This is truly a document our entire community should be proud because it was born of our thoughts, hopes and dreams for Chestermere. It reflects what we value in our society and who we are as Chestermerians. Thank you for taking the time to read it and please feel free to provide Council or myself with feedback at any time.
